Parsley grunted when yet another golem erupted out of the ground and grabbed onto her. Its strength was massive, nearly crushing her legs in its grip.
Strange how Ochazuke never mentioned there were two of them, even though he would have certainly detected this one when he did the first one.
As curious as this oversight was, it wasn't important. "Yes, I am sure," Parsley stated with remarkable calmness, the only strain noticeable being in her voice. "Keep trifling with me and I won't just kill you, but I'll grill you and eat your corpse."
With that said, she charged a black energy ball and dropped it on the things arm in an attempt to shatter its arm. She then started to charge more ki in her finger for another Dark Spiral.

The arm doesn’t break.
Gero smirks.
“Damask is unkillable, saiyan. So long as he remains on Earth, he will never sto....”
Gero stops taking as Adam surrounds her and attempts to crush her. Meanwhile, Damask rag doll slams Parsley into the ground again and again and again.

In the space between words, the Golem's plan for Parsley was intercepted.
Ochazuke, amplified by the Bear's Strength, seized Damask's arm on the downswing. The force of the impact fell, and was redistributed into the nanite ground around them as he shift his stance into Kokaku Sanchin.
Glowering at Gero for a moment, just only out of their grasp, a weary look fell upon her. "You speak as if all things are but fixed quantities...-!
"Shifting his momentum, he grappled with the Golem, and attempted to steer him from this deadlock to a direct counter of its own force.
Parsley was dropped to the ground when Ochazuke intervened. Her patience was wearing thin. She had the strong inclination to simply blow up the entire planet -- like she would have done years ago -- but that would have been reckless and needlessly lethal. Instead, she had a better idea. This creature had an almost unbreakable connect to earth.
However, he couldn't connect to the earth if there was no earth.
"I suggest you all take to the air," she told Ochazuke and the GP officers. Then, she kneeled on the ground and pressed her hands together. Rock was turned to glass when exposed to extreme heat. That was more than within her capabilities.
As Ochazuke continued his struggle with the reformed golem, Parsley began charged a superheated ball of energy between her hands. When he was clear, she would end this farce once and for all. Or, at the very least, bring to a point where the creature was no longer a threat.
Where the heat lashed against his meditational field, he already had a notion of what she was about to do. How Saiyan. A grimace spread over Ochazuke's face, and tilt forward in the throes of his next move, it seemed almost a devilish grin.
When he had laid hands on the Golem, Ochazuke felt directly the course of the energy that informed Damask's nature. Reconstituted of the Earth, over and over again. There was no mistaking it; that the same energy that guided Zxu'ro's expression also flooded through its ancient construction.
So much the better, for he pooled the greater share of strength from its unliving frame, drawing on the same energy with Taikyokuken to further amplify the Bear's Strength at a decisive instant, and ripped Damask from the ground below their feet and sent him hurtling upwards towards the Geofront's artificial sky.
Parsley had her hand to play, and so he would keep this thing occupied, flying up after it as he began to charge energy into his hands.
Morgana laughs, the sound like bells.

The Golem is ripped free, and Ochazuke gets the sense that the golem saw..something.......within him as he executed the maneuver. A brief resonance.
Either way, the golem is untethered from the artificial ground and now sailing upwards.

Adam and Gero are in a fierce battle, but shortly the scientists is wrapped up like snake would its prey.

"Huh, I'll be..."
Granted, Charco was aware that such a question could have been trapped and was somewhat relieved to know his decision to not answer had been wise, after all.
"So, you plan to convince Rex to stop being a dick?" He asked, uncertain of what she would want to discuss with the spirit.
